One Part Of R.309 Work Nearly Done In Bucks Briefly

June 05, 1986|The Morning Call

Work on one of two bad stretches of Route 309 in Bucks County will be completed within about two weeks, and work on the second will begin about a month afterward, according to a spokesman for Haines and Kibblehouse.

Jim Litka, project manager for the Skippack-based construction company that has contracted with the state to do both jobs, said a second layer of macadam will be applied beginning next week from Trainer's Corner in Quakertown north to the Lehigh County line.

Concurrent with that, Litka said some work on guardrails, grading and seeding of topsoil disturbed during the $1.8-million project and striping the roads will also be performed.

"We're looking to have the total job completed and turned over to the state by the Fourth of July," he said.

The second resurfacing project will cover about four miles of Route 309 from the R&S Diner in Hilltown Township south to Hilltown Pike.

Litka said the work to be performed there is "almost identical" to the resurfacing project from Quakertown to the county's northern border.
